Why would hemoglobin deliver oxygen to the tissues?
1. oxygen concentration of tissue fluid is lower
2. carbon dioxide concentration of tissue fluid is lower
3. carbon dioxide concentration of tissue fluid is higher
4. the oxygen concentration of blood is lower
Hemoglobin carrying carbon dioxide is called as:
1. Deoxyhemoglobin | 2. Carbaminohemoglobin |
3. Carboxyhemoglobin | 4. Oxyhemoglobin |

An abnormal collection of air in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall is called as:
1. intrapleural pressure
2. respiratory distress syndrome
3. pneumothorax
4. decompression sickness
A pulmonary disorder reduces the forced expiratory volume in first second but does not significantly affect the vital capacity. This disorder will be most accurately described as:
1. restrictive lung disorder
2. pulmonary fibrosis
3. pneumoconiosis
4. obstructive lung disorder

1. 0.1 mm Hg | 2. 10 mm Hg |
3. 100 mm Hg | 4. 200 mm Hg |
All the following changes occur in the circulatory system when a fetus is delivered and begins to breathe on its own for the first time except:
1. the rate of blood flow through pulmonary circulation decreases
2. the foramen ovale closes
3. the ductus arteriosus closes
4. the resistance to blood flow through the lung decreases
“Bends” is a painful condition that is seen in cases of:
1. nitrogen narcosis
2. decompression sickness
3. hyperbaric oxygen therapy
4. carbon dioxide accumulation
Overinflation of lungs can be damaging and is prevented in humans by:
1. apneustic center
2. Hering-Breuer reflex
3. hypercapnia
4. inspiratory neurons
